Wyvern Lingo brand new track 'Rapture'

The band offer up a fresh taste of the incoming album with the release of a new song, entitled ‘Rapture’, which is released today.

If the self-titled first album caught the band on the cusp of transitioning from folky songstresses to R’n’B/alt-pop influenced players, then ‘Awake You Lie’ sees Wyvern Lingo fully immersed in who they are as a band - superb musicians and supernatural harmonisers with a gimlet eye to spear the ever shifting mores of modern relationships, both intimate and platonic.

The band add: 

“A recurring image during this album writing process was light, the lack thereof, and wanting to see things more clearly, for ourselves and others. We called the album "Awake You Lie" because it evokes an image of night-time when someone should be sleeping but can’t, due to restlessness or worry. Things are always clearer in the light of day"

Of Rapture, Karen Cowley adds:

“This is the sincerest love song I’ve ever written, inspired by overcoming long distance, and managing to remain completely overwhelmed by the mere existence of someone, even when apart.”

‘Rapture’ is out now. ‘Awake You Lie’ by Wyvern Lingo is released by Rubyworks on Friday 26th February 2021 on vinyl, CD and digital platforms.
